CBF explains Jorge Carrascal dismissal and VAR outage in Supercopa | OneFootball

Flamengo played the entire second half with 10 men against Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil after Jorge Carrascal was dismissed. The federation said in a statement that the decision followed a VAR review completed during the interval, and outlined a temporary VAR outage later in the game.

Video officials examined footage from the moment of the incident, reaching a conclusion once players had already gone in at half-time. They identified violent conduct by Flamengo’s no. 15, Carrascal, against Corinthians’ no. 7, Breno Bidon, off the ball with play stopped.

Initial angles were inconclusive, so the first half ended as normal. A subsequent check clearly revealed the offence, leading to a recommendation for the referee to review and the resulting red card.

The procedure was supported by the 2025/26 Laws of the Game and FIFA’s VAR protocol, which permit VAR intervention for violent conduct at any time, including after play has restarted.

There was a power outage during the break affecting several areas of the stadium, including the VOR, the VAR’s Video Office Room. A back-up system kept VAR operating for about 15 minutes.

With power not promptly restored, the match proceeded without VAR between the 15th and 34th minutes of the second half. Match officials followed international protocols, with communication to both captains and head coaches, and all on-field decisions complied with the Laws without technical or sporting prejudice to the game.
